Music Break: John Prine – Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
April 23, 2020
My daughter is in lockdown in Chicago, fortunately able to work from her apartment.
In conversation yesterday I mentioned John Prine’s passing, and she stunned me by saying she did not know his work.
That prompted a flurry of searches on my part to find the best links to key songs to make this critical introduction, and I ended up reminding myself of songs I hadn’t heard in years, if not decades.
This is one.
The duet with Nanci Griffith has a sweetness to it that makes it one of the best renditions.
Bonus below – Boundless Love.
